At Gift of Life Surrogacy Agency, we understand the delicate nuances that come with reaching parenthood, and we are here to support you every step of the way.

What is surrogacy?

With gestational surrogacy, intended parents can use the mother’s egg or a donor egg as well as the father’s sperm or donor sperm. With gestational surrogacy, the carrier has no biological tie to the embryo that is transferred to her during the in vitro fertilization cycle.

To learn more about the medical procedure for intended parents, select the option that best describes the combination of egg and sperm you’ll be using with a gestational carrier.
